1. Participation in the AB 1054 Wildfire Fund is subject to numerous terms and conditions. As a result of post-petition wildfires, including the 2019 Kincade Fire, PG&E's ability to satisfy such conditions could be impaired.
2. Assumes annual IOU contributions will be made for a 10-year period.3. The useful life of the Wildfire Fund is estimated based on various assumptions, including the number and severity of catastrophic fires within the participating electric utilities’ service territories during the term of
the Wildfire Fund, historical fire-loss data, the estimated cost of wildfires caused by other electric utilities, the amount at which wildfire claims will be settled, the likely adjudication of the CPUC in cases of electric utility-caused wildfires, the level of future insurance coverage held by the electric utilities, and the future transmission and distribution equity rate base growth of other electric utilities. Significant changes in any of these estimates could materially impact the amortization period.

(4) The Utility recorded costs of $237 million (before the tax impact of $44 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, for pipeline-replacement costs disallowed in the 2019 GT&S rate case as a result of spending above amounts authorized in the 2015-2018 rate case period. Due to flow-through treatment related to deductible repairs, $80 million of the loss does not generate a net tax benefit.
(5) The Utility incurred costs of $121 million (before the tax impact of $33 million) and $606 million (before the tax impact of $170 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, for incremental operating expenses related to enhanced and accelerated inspections of electric transmission and distribution assets, and certain resulting repairs that are not probable of recovery.
(6) The Utility incurred costs of $73 million (before tax impact of $18 million) and $256 million (before the tax impact of $46 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, directly associated with PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Chapter 11 Cases. This includes legal and other costs of $90 million (before the tax impact of $22 million) and $191 million (before the tax impact of $28 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively ($10 million and $92 million of legal and other costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, are not tax deductible.) The Utility also incurred $114 million (before the tax impact of $32 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing costs. These costs were partially offset by interest income of $17 million (before the tax impact of $5 million) and $49 million (before the tax impact of $14 million) recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

(9) The Utility reduced the estimated disallowance for gas-related capital costs that were expected to exceed authorized amounts by $38 million (before the tax impact of $11 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The Utility had previously recorded $85 million (before the tax impact of $35 million) in 2016 for probable capital disallowances in the 2015 GT&S rate case. From 2012 through 2014, the Utility had recorded cumulative charges of $665 million (before the tax impact of $271 million) for disallowed Pipeline Safety Enhancement Plan-related capital expenditures.
(10) As a result of the California Public Utilities Commission’s (“CPUC”) June 2018 decision authorizing a Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account, the Utility recorded $32 million (before the tax impact of $9 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for probable cost recoveries of insurance premiums incurred in 2017 above amounts included in authorized revenue requirements.

Definitions of 2019 Operational Performance Metrics from Exhibit C
Safety
Public and employee safety are measured in four areas: Nuclear Operations Safety, Electric Operations Safety, Gas Operations Safety, and Employee Safety.
The safety of the Utility’s nuclear power operations, DCPP Unit 1 and Unit 2, is based on 11 performance indicators for nuclear power generation, including unit capability, on-line reliability, safety system unavailability, radiation exposure, and safety accident rate, as reported to the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations. The safety of the Utility’s electric and gas operations is represented by: • Public Safety Index - Measure consisting of a weighted index of two electric programs that evaluate the effectiveness of compliance activities in the Fire Index Areas: (1) Enhanced Vegetation Management (50%) and (2) System Hardening (50%).
• Gas and Electric Asset Records Duration Index (equally weighed) - Measure consisting of two indices tracking the average number of days to complete the as-built process in the system of record for electric and gas capital and expense jobs from the time construction is completed in the field or released to operations. The Gas Operations Index consists of three weighted sub-metrics: (1) Transmission (60%), (2) Station (10%), and (3) Distribution (30%). The Electric Operations Index consists of three weighted sub-metrics: (1) Transmission Line (25%), (2) Substation (25%), and (3) Distribution (50%).
• Gas First-Time In-Line Inspections - Measures the Utility’s successful completion of first-time in-line inspections of newly-constructed natural gas transmission lines.
The safety of the Utility’s employees is represented by: • Serious Injuries and Fatalities (SIF) Corrective Action Index - Index measuring (1) percentage of SIF corrective actions completed on time, and (2) quality of corrective actions as measured against an externally derived framework.
Customer Customer satisfaction is measured by:
• Escalated Customer Complaints Score - Measures the number of customer complaints escalated to the California Public Utilities Commission, per 100,000 adjusted customers.
Financial “Non-GAAP earnings from operations” (shown in millions of dollars) is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as income available for common shareholders less items impacting comparability. “Items impacting comparability” represent items that management does not consider part of the normal course of operations and affect comparability of financial results between periods, consisting of items listed in Exhibit A.

Exhibit G: Uses of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company: Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
PG&E Corporation discloses historical financial results and provides guidance based on “non-GAAP earnings from operations” and “non-GAAP EPS from operations” in order to provide a measure that allows investors to compare the underlying financial performance of the business from one period to another, exclusive of items impacting comparability. “Non-GAAP earnings from operations” is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as income available for common shareholders less items impacting comparability. “Items impacting comparability” represent items that management does not consider part of the normal course of operations and affect comparability of financial results between periods, consisting of the items listed in Exhibit A. “Non-GAAP EPS from operations” also referred to as “non-GAAP earnings per share from operations” is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as non-GAAP earnings from operations divided by common shares outstanding (diluted). PG&E Corporation uses non-GAAP earnings from operations and non-GAAP EPS from operations to understand and compare operating results across reporting periods for various purposes including internal budgeting and forecasting, short- and long-term operating planning, and employee incentive compensation. PG&E Corporation believes that non-GAAP earnings from operations and non-GAAP EPS from operations provide additional insight into the underlying trends of the business, allowing for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future performance. Non-GAAP earnings from operations and non-GAAP EPS from operations are not substitutes or alternatives for GAAP measures such as consolidated income available for common shareholders and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

PG&E Corporation’s Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA $ 1,262 $ 1,507 $ 4,111 $ 4,386
Second Quarter, 2019 vs. 2018
PG&E Corporation discloses “Adjusted EBITDA,” which is a non-GAAP financial measure, in order to provide a measure that investors may find useful for evaluating PG&E Corporation’s performance during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases. PG&E Corporation’s management generally does not use Adjusted EBITDA in managing its business. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as PG&E Corporation’s net income plus income tax provision (or less income tax benefit); less other income, net; plus interest expense; less interest income; plus reorganization items, net; plus depreciation, amortization, and decommissioning; plus electric asset inspection, 2018 Camp fire-, 2017 Northern California wildfire-, and 2015 Butte fire-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA is not a substitute or alternative for GAAP measures, such as net income, and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. See above for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA.
Note: Amounts may not sum due to rounding.

($ billions) 2020 2021 2022
Revised Revenue Requirement ~$9.52 ~$9.88 ~$10.36
• On November 1, 2019, PG&E submitted the Joint Comparison Exhibit (JCE) providing a comparison of the positions of PG&E and various Parties to the 2020 GRC. The submittal included an update to PG&E’s revenue requirement forecast reflecting all forecast updates, concessions, stipulations, and forecast errata.
– The JCE also included Cal Advocates’ updated revenue requirement increase recommendations to increases of $581M (from $503M) for 2020, $301M (from 298M) for 2021, and $332M (from $329M) for 2022.
• On November 1, 2019, PG&E submitted a brief on the application of AB 1054 to PG&E’s capital expenditures for its approved 2019 Wildfire Mitigation Plan. AB 1054 prohibits PG&E from including in its equity rate base the first $3.2B of fire risk mitigation capital expenditures. PG&E estimates that this proposal would result in additional revenue requirement reductions of $22M in 2020, $57M in 2021, and $105M in 2022.

APPENDIX 2 - OVERVIEW OF KEY REGULATORY CASES2019 CPUC Gas Transmission and Storage Rate Case
• On November 17, 2017, PG&E filed its 2019 Gas Transmission and Storage rate case. PG&E subsequently revised its request to reflect impacts from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as well as other forecast updates to a $184M increase over the 2018 authorized revenue requirement.
• On September 23, 2019, the CPUC issued a final decision for the 2019 GT&S Rate Case, which adopted a revenue requirement increase of $31M in 2019 to our currently authorized RRQ, and a ratebase increase of $750M in 2019 to our currently authorized ratebase. The decision removed from ratebase ~$304M on a forecast basis of pipeline replacement capital expenditures for the 2015-2018 period due to cost overruns. PG&E expects the final disallowance on a recorded cost basis to be ~$237M.
Revenue Requirement ($ billions)
2018 Authorized 2019 2020 2021 2022
PG&E Proposal ~$1.30 ~$1.48 ~$1.59 ~$1.69 ~$1.68
Final Decision ~$1.30 ~$1.33 ~$1.43 ~$1.52 ~$1.58
• On October 23, 2019, PG&E filed an application requesting the rehearing of the final decision regarding issues, such as the disallowance associated with vintage pipeline replacement, reduction in PG&E's expense forecast for in-line inspections, and establishment of a memo account for Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment.
